Wk 2, Day 2 - Tues, 10-Dec-2013

THOUGHTS:

• Today was my first real workout since October.  It's embarrassing to say I haven't had a real workout in probably 6 weeks.  Uggh.  I feel awful.  Still have this hacking cough, so I opted to do an easier workout that still got my heartrate up (although I won't really know the numbers as I forgot to turn on my heartrate monitor).  My husband likes me doing a more gentler warmup than the ones I do and I like this, too.  It helped to have all my subcon work done yesterday yesterday, so today I will start same time as yesterday and hopefully finish everything today.
• Time to get back to being accountable in eating, sleeping, exercise also.
• Second day of getting all my subcontracting work the same day.
• Glad I got some time with my husband to explore on one of our drives.  Nice quiet, peaceful time with him.

ACTIONS:

• Took my heart meds, hair supps, Multi vitamins, fish oil, probiotics, cinnamon.
• Drank water and lots of hot tea.
• Got workout done.

LIFE TO DOs:

• Return stuff to CVS for credit or a refund.
• Pay for son's field trip fee in January. - will pay for in January.
• Put away summer clothes and hang winter clothes up.
• Get new laptop with Win7.
• Make photo album for husband's mom.
• Make photo album for mom.
• Make photo album for dad.
• Make photo album for kids' Grandma M.
• Upload videos to YT for kids for karate. - Loaded this to the wrong YT account.
• I need to get an estimate on the repairs and fax to them this week. - I called JT regarding this and he told me what I needed to do.
• Get some ActivaFulvic.
• Apply at ST, EJ, CW.
• Resolve format issues with some MP3s to my iPod.
• Continue with job search.
• File paperwork in crate.
• Find out costs for parts & labor for the things we need done to the Explorer - rear 3rd brake light (whole assembly $120 + labor), passenger side powered mirror ($31 from eBay + labor), passenger front seat powered windows ($120-200 total), left rear tail light ($35 from eBay + labor), rear windshield wiper ($20 from eBay + labor), front hood strut mechanism, rear driver's side door fixing it ($200).

SLEEP:

• 11:15 pm - 5:45 (6.5 hrs) - not enough sleep, but it will have to do.  Daughter has choir.  I felt so excited last night that I got all my subcon work done that I didn't have to work the whole evening and was then Pinning away and watching some Impractical Jokers episodes and forgot about the time.

FOOD JOURNAL:

Breakfast  (9:30 am) - 2 eggs over easy with a little sea salt.

Lunch (1:15 pm) - a slice of combo pizza from Costco and 1/2 a churro.

Dinner (7:15 pm) - Crockpot BBQ spare ribs and Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes - delish, I just looked around in the freezer and around to see what we had available and voila!  Everything except the BBQ sauce was from scratch.
